Library purchase vote Friday
On Friday, Hillsdale residents will vote in a special election on the purchase of the current Roeliff-Jansen Association Library by the town to use as a new town hall, as well as the cost of improvements to the historic building.
The town of Hillsdale proposes the purchase of the library building as well as land from the Roeliff-Jansen Community Library Association for a sum not to exceed $245,000 as well as an authorization to use up to $450,000 of Hillsdale’s Capital Building Project Reserve Fund for the purchase and renovation of the building.
Hillsdale’s $600,000 Capital Improvement Reserve Fund comes from savings from past budget surpluses, according to Hillsdale Supervisor Art Baer, who is also the chairman of the full board of supervisors for Columbia County.
The vote will take place at the Hillsdale Firehouse Friday from noon to 8 p.m. Text of the full resolution, as well as a letter to Hillsdale residents regarding the purchase, are available on the Hillsdale town website at www.hillsdaleny.com.
